Yeah, all the subsequent reports say he is not a happy camper. Sucks that you hitched your wagon to the Orange Menace, but what else did you expect, Pence?

Yeah, this “apology” is bullshite. An apology does not include a “Yeah BUT so and so did this.” A sincere apology is a form of humbling yourself, and not bringing up anyone else’s actions.

This all day. Funny how men are all now it’s a problem if women were given a bit of an edge. What if the men in management positions were really shitty at working with a female boss? I could definitely see that.

Earthquakes are infrequent, though. The bad part in CA is that the drought is draining the underground water tables, which make the fault lines more brittle-ish. The water is like a cushion and without it, shit is gonna start snapping. We are doomed no matter how ya slice it.

I am so with you on tornadoes. Fuck those. That’s what scares me most with hurricanes, they can spawn those evil bastard funnels.

They worried that this was big government telling people what to feed their kids.

Guys. Guys? Guys.

That’s the de facto law but most producers keep an eye on the kids and if they suspect the parents are misusing funds, they go to the agent/manager/lawyer. From there it’s a short step to court intervention. I’ve seen it happen in kids far too young to understand they’re being fleeced by parents. But it relies on…

Another one on the cast saying how talented she was/is.

I didn’t even have to work outside the home at that age but I still had trouble adapting to life once I went to college without symptoms of stress consistent with parents worries for their kids. I was charged with taking care of my sister, our house, dinner, etc and being the main “adult figure” in her life more…

She was so good as that reincarnated serial killer on the BBC show the Intruders.

Or she can move in with Ariel Winter and her sister?

Robert Osborne did a panel with a bunch of child actors from like the 30's-40s including Margaret O’Brien. There was one guy, his father either died or couldn’t work and so him working was literally the only thing that kept the family fed. He didn’t hit Mickey Rooney level of fame but he seemed to work steady enough…

Uh, yeah the words “Why don’t you get a real job, asshole?” come to mind...

So her dad is a shitbag. Got it.

There are, in fact, different conditions for child actors than if they were working in a shop, like having tutors on set so that they can make up for not being at school, they can only work a certain amount of hours per day, there has to be a legal guardian on set, etc. The Screen Actors Guild website can provide…

Yeah, there’s a big difference. For one, there is an on-set teacher, you generally have a guardian with you, you are fed and given long breaks every few hours, the list goes on. Of course it varies a bit state to state and pending if a production is SAG or not. Even still, there are a lot of laws in place to protect…

Seriously. Doesn’t anyone fucking learn? It’s not like examples of fucked up former child stars are hard to find.

Same. All sorts of red flags...

This left me feeling gross. She’s a kid for fucks sake. She shouldn’t be saving her family from bankruptcy.
